Biography

Called a “freak of nature” by his teammates, his tree-trunk legs come from his deep commitment to soccer. He didn’t start racing until he was 15, but quickly made his mark and joined Crédit Agricole as a pro in 2000. Shy off the bike, Fédrigo oozes aggression on the bike. He scored the tricolor of the French national jersey in 2005 and won the team’s only Tour de France stage victory a year later.
